Max's POV
Oh man, it's so stressful today.. at first things didn't go well in free practice and then we sat together with the mechanics and engineers for ages. Christian said I can leave earlier, but I think we're a team and if something doesn't work I'll help the team where I can. I'm not an aerodynamics expert but I can describe what feels wrong.
Well then I just went to the hotel and took a speed shower. Then I put on my jeans and a simple white t-shirt. I hope George and Charles don't wear fancy clothes again. Then I feel so uncomfortable but those fancy shirts or tight collar sweaters just aren't my thing. I don't need more than jeans, t-shirt and hoodie in my closet. Many think I only wear Redbull Merch, but Hoodies are also very popular with me.
I wanted to quickly brush my teeth when I smeared my t-shirt with toothpaste, of course.. so I had to change my clothes again..
I hurried and drove to the restaurant as fast as I could. I hope they had already ordered.. If they waited for me, Daniel and Lando would be incredibly angry. When it comes to food, they don't take a joke. I quickly walked in and Daniel's hungry gaze hit me as soon as I saw they all sitting at the table.
"Hello everyone. I'm sorry I'm a little late. I still had a few things to do with the mechanics and engineers" Oh god I'm feeling uncomfortable right now, but well it's my own fault.
„A little late? Max we've been waiting for half an hour.. we are starving ... please choose something quickly."nicely formulated by Danny. Then he laughs and gets up to hug me. I give everyone at the table a quick wave to say hello, my gaze sweeping across the table.
Suddenly my eyes meet unknown eyes. The light over the table is so that the eyes shimmer.I don't think I've seen her before. She sits between George and Lando.. Does Lando have a new girlfriend? No, he would have told me that. He could never keep something like that a secret.
Didn't George say something that his best friend now has a job at Mercedes? Oh man, I can't really remember.. Suddenly I see our eyes meet...she looks at me. Only now, I realize that I'm still standing in front of the table. I look away and sit down. did I just stare at her? I hope nobody noticed how akwaerd this situation was...Would have been too nice.. Lando's look hits me. He saw it, I can only hope that he doesn't make a stupid joke out loud.
Sofia's POV
Max waves to everyone at the table... I don't realize it at first but when I look at him and our eyes meet the world stops for me for a moment... but wait was he starring at me? After a few seconds I turn back to George.
„I really don't understand how all these nice drivers hang out with someone like him" I whisper to George.
„Sunshine please... You don't even know him. You only know the media side." He's looking at me seriously, why is he so serious now?
„The media side is enough for me thanks" is all I'll say and mean it.
„you know the press often writes negative things about me, too...about all of us now and later" It annoys me that he defends him like that..However, I don't want to fight because of someone like that.."Hmmm I don't know...but since you like him, I won't be harsh on him. Deal?"
George has to laugh. "That's so generous of you"
„Yes Yes Yes I know I'm great"I laugh and lightly punch George gently the shoulder.
George pretends to be in severe pain and all the drivers laugh...
„I told you that girl is dangerous" Lando points to me.
„Lando one more spell and you're next" I wink at him and laugh.
We all have a great evening together...I haven't had this much fun in a long time. I quickly take all drivers to heart and realize that I feel safe and comfortable. At around 0am I'm back in my hotel room still flashed from the great evening with my new friends.
I close your eyes and try to sleep.. but there it is again...the flashbacks... I'm sitting in bed right now and my chest is tightening again...Can't I even have a damn day or nice evening without this? this time it takes almost an hour to be able to breathe calmly again. My chest hurts from the exertion. I'm decide to go jogging to clear your head.
After about 10 kilometers I'm on my way back to the hotel when someone jogs towards me. I always thought I was the only one crazy enough to go jogging in the middle of the night...I don't prefer this time.. it's only when my head is full that I can switch off like that.
It's very dark so I can only see the outlines of the face. He has a Hoodie on and the hood low in the face.I have my own hood over my face, too. I turn around and ask myself:
Was that him? or did I imagine it?I must be tired...
I hurry up to get back to the hotel and try to sleep...this time with success.
